You don’t just get to be on the cover of the coveted Sports Illustration Swimsuit Edition by fluke. It takes hard work, dedication, and one heck of an Instagram account. Just look at one of this year’s cover models: Hailey Clauson.

I’m not sure exactly how or who makes the decision of which model(s) gets to grace the cover. I assume it’s an editor, or perhaps some sort of committee. It’s not like a first-come-first-serve kind of thing where Hailey just got in line ahead of Candice Swanepoel and Elsa Hosk. Hailey was carefully selected to be on the cover, and there’s a good reason for it.

In order to truly understand why Hailey was chosen, you need look no further than her miraculous Instagram page. Who knew that one account could be filled with so much hotness. It’s like every single pic is straight out of a magazine. This is quality stuff you’d normally have to pay for, and she’s just gifting it to us for free.
